Wonderful tour our guide Kimissa was wonderful. Put your walking shoes on the walk up and down is challenging for anyone with back, knee, climbing stairs. Kimissa was very accommodating with our one attendee that had issues keeping up. Her knowledge was great and I learned a lot.

We spent a wonderful two hours at the Acropolis from 8 30 to 10 30. Since it was a private tour for our family of five, we could walk at our own speed, take photos, and ask about anything that interested us. Our guide made it fun by asking questions, setting up a mini game of 'children vs. parents,' and sharing stories and myths. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends. The Acropolis itself is incredibly beautiful. There were no crowds, nice and interesting.
